* BoringButPractical: The Bahamut Magilumic is the first one you get in the game. It only needs one TP, covers a wide area, and does only pure damage. With upgrades, it can hit harder and cover a wider zone, and do Burn damage.

* EliteArmy: The Blue Foxes have around 600 active mercenaries in its ranks where the Alletainian government and the Empire have tens of thousands of troops. Despite the number differences, the Blue Foxes are known for their exploits in battle due to their members being stronger. When the Empire first attempts its invasion of [=DioField=], the Blue Foxes are the only group able to successfully push back the Empire against all odds, and even though the Empire ultimately succeeds in invading, the Blue Foxes still become well regarded after that, and are even officially promoted to knights.

* HeadbuttingHeroes: Andrias, Fredret, Iscarion, and Waltaquin start off on favorable terms when first established as the joint leaders of the Blue Foxes. As they continue to work with each other however, it becomes clear that differences among the members makes it become increasingly difficult to work together. Waltaquin is a selfish woman whose focused on making time for her magical experiments and over the course of the story, becomes increasingly unhinged, nearly destroying the Blue Foxes' reputation with her complete disregard for human life. Iscarion, being all for protecting the weak and finding equality, latches onto the growing idea of democracy as it gains some traction among the Alletain citizens but Fredret vehemently opposes the ideology as it tends to lead to looting and he believe that the people need a king to rule over them. After some time, Iscarion also starts to clash with Andrias, whose just a bit too ruthless about accomplishing his goals. [[spoiler:Once Fredret goes forward with his plan to ascend the throne as Levantia Shaytham, the group very quickly falls apart. Waltaquin leaves immediately upon hearing the announcement, disgusted with the ridiculousness of it and Iscarion leaves shortly after Fredret ascends the throne, realizing they'll never reconcile their differences and decides to fly solo once more.]]

After killing Fredret, who was posing as King Levantia Shaytham, he then enters the now abandoned Elm Camp that once housed the elite Blue Foxes, dressed as the new General of the Empire, implying that the Empire succeeded in taking over [=DioField=] and gaining complete access to its Jade.]]

* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Lady Waltaquin's robes are a snow-white uniform with a wealth of golden accents and metal buckles to add to the elegance and nobility of it all, likely from her time in the Church. This is, however, combat-ready armor, and while you still won't want her up close taking hits, she is perfectly capable of utterly ''devastating'' vast swathes of the battlefield or making hell for individual targets with her elemental skills.

!!Tropes:
* AerithAndBob: Named characters include Andrias, Fredret, and Iscarion, as well as comparatively more contemporarily-named William and Lorraine.
* GoodRepublicEvilEmpire: The main continent of [=DioField=] has been embroiled in war between the Empire and the Alliance, while the comparatively more peaceful Kingdom that the protagonists initially work for are more concerned with eliminating bandits and protecting their own citizens.
* NiceGuy: Iscarion is a kind noble, to the point that a mercenary that works alongside Andrias is upset that Iscarion was nicer than him, and responded to his jealousy by being as supportive of the mercenary's own talents as possible.
* ThePlace: "[=DioField=]" is the island nation, divided into lesser territories such as South Field, that the game is set on.
* TimeSkip: The tutorial mission depicts Andrias and two of his friends, mere freelance mercenaries at the time, saving a Kingdom noble's carriage from bandits and being offered a job as a reward. The game then skips ahead a whole month in order for the mercenaries to earn enough trust with the Kingdom to be offered frontline missions.
